Why did Martin Shkreli do the right things by raising the price because it gives him funds to do research on the pill to improve it or make it a cure with the right doctors and pay them right will be more focus on improving the pill. not a lot of people have this disease so many will not have to buy it. Also insurance will pay most of it.

I believe Martin Shkreli's price increase on the Daraprim is an ethical business practice because it is said the drug is rarely used that the impact on the health system is minuscule and the money will be used to develop better treatments with fewer side effects. It is also clear that many patients use the Daraprim for far less than a year, and that now the price is more in line with those of other drugs for rare diseases. Shkreli stated, " this isn't the greedy drug company trying to gouge patients, it is us trying to stay in business and improve it". Almost all people with a business will agree this statement and do the same.

Insofar that aids is primarily a self inflicted condition it is reasonable that those who have contracted the disease should be made pay a heavy price for their own recklessness and in turn encourage others to take responsibility for their own lives by employing the precautionary measures, such as the use of condoms, which will greatly reduce the chances of becoming infected and spreading the disease. Furthermore, Martin Shkreli is a businessman whose prime function is to make a profit, as great a profit as is possible whilst staying within the law. When I was in business I told my sales people, 'don't be shy, ask for plenty''. When a businessman identifies a market he/she should exploit it for all it's worth while they can as the product you have may, and almost certainly will, be superseded by a competitive article.

In law you can be sued if you do not maximize prices. Martin has found a way to make a better and safer drug by improving investments. Daraprim was developed in 1953 as a treatment for toxoplasmosis an infection caused by a parasite. It comes from eating under-cooked meat or drinking contaminated water, and affects those with compromised immune systems, like AIDS. This is a disease where there hasn't been one pharmaceutical company focused on it for 70 years. We're now martin Shkreli Company that is dedicated to the treatment and cure of toxoplasmosis. And with these new profits can be spend all of that upside on these patients who sorely need a new upgraded drug. If there is no research on this drug no advance of medication is made. Kalobios has emerged from bankruptcy so martin has plans for this rare disease providing reasonable return. It is very expensive to develop and test new medications. A large portion of the consumer price for a drug is based on this and not the actual manufacturing costs. The drug companies need to be able to recoup these development costs and to make a profit that the companies will be able to use for future drug development. Shkreli said: “We need to turn a profit on the drug.” He defended the decision by Bloomberg News that newer versions of the drug needed to be developed and his was the first company “to really focus on this product” for decades and that such research was extremely expensive. He also promised if you cannot afford the drug he will give it away for free. Mostly all patients are covered by the insurances. How much does insurance companies make? A huge profit. What affects does it make on insurance companies? When 60% sells for 1 dollar. I believe this is an ecosystem that happens through all businesses in order to achieve goals. His goal is to be a profitable company by researching new ways to develop better pills to decrease unusual deaths and less side effects. He is only doing what every business is encouraged to do which is find new and better ways to keep succeeding. Put yourself in his shoes would you buy an unprofitable, bankrupt company? He is willing to take risks to save the company and provide what these patients need. His ethical decision will not only help patients but everyone involved in the ecosystem.

I don’t get what the cockiness have to do with him try to help the patient and running his business what happens if that’s the way he talks. All his trying to do is prove the doctors that they need a pill to help the patient get cure and not hear every year that so many people have died because of the disease or any pills they take. Martin Shkreli all his trying to do is improve the pills and help other not get the disease and die. The think hear that nobody is getting is that if you have a disease and need a pill to help you, these is a cure that will let you spend money only once and it’s not going to be like any other pills that every monthly or so you will keep paying for the pills. His also try to help other that if you don’t have insurance, or your insurance can pay for the drug he will let you get the drug for a $1 or free. But what I don’t get is if a bigger company raise their prize for any drugs higher there is no argument there but when Martin Shkreli raise the prize from $13.50 to $750 everybody is going crazy and getting mad for what he did.

All what Mr. Shkreli is doing is a good cause by making this medicine more effective for patients who have Toxoplasmosis. Daraprim is a medicine that helps cure this type of infection but is so cheap that the medication is not effective. People are dying regarding to this medication that does not work. He is trying to improve the medication but for that he needs to rise the cost for the cost of the research. People pay more money for other types of medicines why not this one that can actually cure aids. It may seen expensive for the low income people but they don't need to worry because if they can afford they get it for free.
